RE: VPN<->Firewall
Well, that question has 2 answers, depending on what you mean by "VPN
software". If you mean a remote client connecting to a firewalled network
then you do not necessarily need a "hole" in the firewall so much as a
rule to authenticate and then take a "decrypt" action for remote clients
attempting to access internal resources. IF you mean a remote network
(another firewalled network) connecting to your network then both networks
must reside in the same encryption domain so that they can encrypt and
decrypt appropriately. This assume that the VPN tunnel was establish as a
part of configuration on install. There is typically no "keep alive"
beacon of any type required for this as there often is in remote client
software.

Hello,
Can any one elaborate what interaction is
required between a VPN software and Firewall?
Apart from keeping holes in Firewall for
VPN channels are there any interaction required ?
Thanks,
Nishant Mishra
